At 12:33 ET, a very reluctant Chris Matthews gave an update on the Tennessee Senate race, unwilling to call the vote (even though it was complete) for Republican Bob Corker. He was overruled from the control room, but still was clearly disheartened that Tennesseans did not vote his way.
Even after being corrected, Matthews continued to express skepticism that the Republican had defeated his preferred fellow Democrat.
We just got word now that the count is complete now in Tennesee and we're not making any projections yet officially as NBC now but as you can see up on the board now [pauses as screen comes up showing Corker projection]
Well we are I guess right now. NBC is--we're projecting that Bob Corker has beated [sic] Harold Ford Jr. after a very, very courageous [voice trails off] It's an apparent winner rather than a projection.
That's right. We're going now on final count here. We've got all the votes counted and he's got the most of them right now. So that's not a projection, it's a statement of reporting.
Look at those numbers right now. Looks like a close one. We'll see as the evening projects, uh, further on, we'll be able to make a full projection later on.
It's not over until Chris calls it.
Chris Mattews 2006=Dan Rather 2004.
Has CBS called Ohio for Bush yet?
this guy could use a colonic. I know. It works when things seem really bad.

ME tooo....what you said.....Ford losing is the highlight of the night.
One win. Countless losses.
What's Harold going to do now?
Osama Obama is the new Ford.
F### Chris Matthews, he is a second-rate talent and a first-rate Propagandist. Its one thing to disagree about solutions to problems or how to approach to issues. But to help one political party defeat another using innuendo, half-truths, obfuscations, lies of omission, misrepresentations of fact, and character assassination, you have crossed a line that separates serious journalists and commentators from political hacks.
Matthews, as well as most of the talking heads that appear in the tradional broadcast media are nothing but partisan political hacks. They really don't believe in America or the Democratic process enought to tell the truth.

tissue please....
Go to Disney World?
What the leftist news media presents is closer to an infomercial than a newscast.
I guess that last minute stop at the "stars and bars" Little Rebel bar didn't swing him enough votes.
Or maybe voters woke up to just what sort of politician he was. Too bad America didn't take the threat of leadership by Bela Pelosi seriously.
Not to fret. Ford will become the most frequent "guest" on his and other left wing shows. Of course, Obama will be there too.
The left media will do all it can to get their people face time on the tube and avoid that nasty complication of spending campaing money.
Learn the inbalming business. That should help him build up his roladex for the next election.
Once again Tennessee rallies to defend the Republic.(We kept Albert out of the WH) What happened to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri...?
I think my husband and I will move to Tennessee after all....Washington, the State, stinks....
